Getting the relevant results for our search is challenging work on google or on the internet. Being a Technical person we need to perform some advanced search through which we can get relevant results for our search. So this advanced searching process is known as Dorking. We fire up an advanced query that returns results that are only relevant to our query. Dork Scanner is an automated tool developed in the python language which is beneficial for searching things on the internet. We simply have to provide the query and the results are displayed on the terminal itself. Although Dork Scanner is a CLI-based tool and Google is said to be GUI based tool for the Dorking process. Dork Scanner is an open-source and free-to-use tool. Dork Scanner supports various search engines like Google, Bing, etc. Dork Scanner allows users to set the limit of results to be retrieved.
